Thank you for speaking about possum fibre! In New Zealand they are a danger to our native kiwi and other native birds too 😭 I love how excited you both get for each other’s projects ❤️

Ugh it’s so devastating to see native species impacted by such stupid decisions from so long ago 😞

This was such a lovely video. My favorite yarn is almost any kind of 100% wool, usually non super wash. I just love the feeling of wool!

Mmm it’s a classic for a reason 🥰

My favorite yarn to knit with is either two strands of Isager Silk Mohair or Sandnes Alpacka Silke, they're both so lovely! I also like the combination of them both! ❤

What a wonderful giveaway prize!! My favourite yarn to knit with to date is campo verde alpaca yarn!! So squishy! Thankyou for talking about possum yarn I've always wanted to give it a go but had never heard anyone else use it.

My favorite yarn to date that I’ve used is KnitPicks Palette, which is 100% Peruvian Highland wool. It’s so surprisingly soft to the touch, and softer than other PHW yarns I’ve used. It does pill, but not as bad as other yarns and it feels nice to wear so I don’t care too much! Basic but beautiful!

I love wooly yarns that contain linen. It softens up wonderfully with time. Obsessed 🤩 Also, since the early days of my knitting (like, 7-8 years ago maybe?) I adore tweedy textures and woollen spun yarns. I haven't ever tried any possum yarns, but I'd love to!

Thank you so much for talking about Zealana yarns. It's good to hear that the possums are culled according to animal welfare standards. I bought a lace weight ball of Zealana Luxuria AIR lace weight at a yarn sale for about 3 USD. I was intrigued by the fiber content: 40% down from the brushtail possum fiber, combined with 40% cashmere and 20% mulberry silk. It's super lux!

You two are just the bees knees! Always such a lovely watch. My current fav yarn to knit with is Camellia Fiber Co. Flax Fingering. Perfect for Texas summers that last 6 months! The blend of alpaca, linen, and silk is just 🤌🏻. Second runner up is Isager Alpaca 1 for all the reasons you talked about 😍

I adore possum yarn as well! It's so soft and the halo is nice so you don't have to hold anything with it. I also like alpaca and tweed yarns.

The bookclub cardigan will be my first evers knitted cardigan and I'm so hyped! Everyone in the Instagram chat is so so nice, too! I adore 100% Merino sock yarn, most other sock yarns are a little too itchy for me. But I think my favourite garment yarn so far was Hobbii Friends Cotton Silk which is 73% cotton and 23% silk and so incredibly soft and comfortable. I made a gr8 gingham crop top out of it and it's my favourite self knitted piece so far!

favorite yarn to use is 100% wool because its so hardwearing and has such nice traits like its temperature regulating etc. i find its just nice to work with on the hands. however, i will never say no to a wool/silk mohair mix as it makes it that much softer and more lux and the mohair helps protect the wool a little too. i also live in melbourne and have been looking into possum yarn for a while but its always been just that little bit out of the price range for a uni student like me, but i have seen samples in stores around victoria and it is so incredibly soft!!

I’ve just moved to a warmer climate so plant fibers are making their way into my knitting. Before the move, wool was my fav!

Thoroughly enjoy watching you both; very inspirational. I think my favorite yarn choice would have to be a Merino wool with a strand of Suri Alpaca. It’s so soft and doesn’t irritate my skin. Happy knitting!

I’m a big fan of Zealana yarns & possum yarn in general. When I visited New Zealand I purchased a beautiful possum beanie that has lasted the test of time & still looks brand new! My favourite yarn?? I really love the Inca Spun Heritage sock yarn with its addition of alpaca 👌🏼

Several things, first of all: congratulations Paige, I'm confident you've passed! Second of all: I just cast on the zipper sweater and swore to forego the book club cardigan, as I already own a beautiful cable cardigan pattern...and now what did you make me do? I bought the pattern and I am THIS close to buying mohair ... HELP (Let's face it the book club cardigan is the nicer pattern, I am still in charge of my decisions and am owning them) Will head over to rav now to nail the yarn purchase by looking at everybody else's yarn 🤓 Thirdly: I did not know about possum yarn, I knew it as a fibre but not, what's behind it, so thank you for the input! Have a lovely day and happy knitting ❣

I've made some delicious mitts in Zealand before and love the yarn so much. Definitely a great use of a pest in NZ. My favourite yarn to knit with at the moment is this yarn I found at Bendigo sheep and wool by a small farm called Karoa fibres. The yarn has mohair in it so it's super soft when washed and has a beautiful halo! It's really affordable too! I'm falling back in love with all things Australian yarns because of your podcast! Bendigo woollen mills is so under-rated!

Omg the dartmoor sweater turned out so good I love the yarn choice!! I would love to say that my favorite fibre/brand/combination of yarn is some non-mainstream unusual one, but I just love how the kfo soft silk mohair and sandnes sunday feels together!😭 I don’t know what it is about it but it just feels sooo buttery to work with

I recently took a trip to New Zealand and I loooove the yarn I got there - including the possum ones! It's among my favorite yarn I ever bought. I will say though, that I was lucky enough to take a trip to Norway the previous summer, and it is like the battle of the yarn vacations - Norwegian wool is also just so freaking amazing

my favourite yarn is Rowan Kidsilk Haze (on sale). So soft, not itchy, and warm. Living in the UK, I can wear my KSH knits almost year round.

Oh what an exciting giveaway! I am in the Bookclub KAL and am loving the chat 🥹 Favorite yarn currently is Concepts by Katia Alpaquina, I am knitting the Poet Scaft with it held double am so shocked by how soft and lovely it is! Also, I’m 100% going to need to try Poppy! The sweater looks amazing and I love the colors 😍

I picked up some indie dyed yarn off of Facebook Marketplace, and its worked up so beautifully. So my current favourite is Worsted Silk from Willow Knits. It's incredibly soft (especially after a gentle block) but I'm also loving that it hasn't been splitty at all.

I’ve fallen in love with knitting Sonder Yarns from Canada. The very nicest yarns I’ve knit with so far. Your podcast is terrific! Oh. You influenced me to buy one of those fancy candles!!!!!

My mom gifted me qiviut yarn which is wool from muskox. It is very soft and incredibly warm. It is very practical for the climate here in Alaska. The undyed color of the yarn is a beautiful soft brown that is similar in color to the yarn that was gifted to you.

having recently visited New Zealand I had lots of opportunities to squish possum yarn - truly super soft! My favourite yarns however are wooly wools, eg Shetland 2ply. I knitted a beautiful Norwegian designer jumper using similar woolly Lofoten wool from sheep farmed on the Norwegian Lofoten Islands - a great souvenir full of memories!

I'm knitting a Love note right now. Holding fingering and a new yarn for me , it's from The Miller Girls Yarn, and it has 10% yak, 41%baby alpaca,13%fine merino & 35% silk. It's just lovely 😊

Just discovered you both 2 episodes ago, love the vibe and the fact you are off-season for us in the northern hemisphere so i can get early ideas for the next knit projects. I love merino and merino blends, but have not tried aussie merino before or have i and not known?! Very curious about the possum as my only encounters here in the great white north are with opossums we occasionally find in a feed bag in the barn or stealing our barn cats' food. NZ is so careful with their other wildlife management projects so i am hoping this is true with this yarn. Save a kiwi, knit with possum?! Thanks for the laughs and your mutual support and enthusiasm for each other's projects.

What an amazingly generous prize! I haven't tried possum but have a special ball in my stash and it's glorious. My current favourite yarns are Norwegian woolly yarns, BFL and British breeds in general. And I love Alpaca lace, although I usually use Holst Titicaca. I used that + Drops Flora for Caidree's Tenane sweater and it's just so good! Anyway, great video as usual ladies - thank you!

I was told by an independent yarn maker at a recent yarn festival in Canberra that most of the possum fur for knitting yarn (as opposed to possum fur for commercial clothing) comes from Tasmania and is sent to New Zealand. Possums are a pest in Tasmania as well, so it's still an ethical choice. I just found that very interesting. I don't really have a favourite yarn, but I love knitting with alpaca.

Thanks for sharing your possum research. I have admired many possum yarns but never felt sure about the animal welfare side of things. I love to knit with anything soft on my hands, a bit of fluff is always a bonus.

Wow! Possum is a new fiber to me! I love knitting with wool, and generally favor fingering weight everything - socks, wraps, sweaters, etc! Love watching the podcast. You two have great energy! ❤

I haven’t knit with a large range of yarns so far but because of my sock knitting I’ve enjoyed using Nundle Woolen Mills sock yarn.

My favorite yarn is Rambouillet from The Farmers Daughter Fibers ! They have a base called Reminisce that has some grey Rambouillet wool woven in and it makes the most gorgeous colors.

Great explanation about our Nz possums ! They are pests and they make amazing yarn ! Enjoy your knit with Zealanda

I've only just discovered your podcast in the last month or so, and am so happy to find some lovely fellow Aussie knitters! 😊 I mostly have experience with knitting with Bendigo Woollen Mills, wool and cotton which I really enjoy. I was surprised by how soft, cool to the touch and lovely to knit with the cotton is to work with. Which worked out well as I made the Stripe Hype Dress by Kutovakika 😂 But the wool I'm loving the most is some wool that I was gifted by my family a couple of Christmases ago, which is actually a possum blend! It's Supreme Possum Merino, 40% possum, 50% merino and 10% silk ❤ It's so soft and lovely to work with. I ended up making a self drafted vest with side ties. I'd love to try the Kuari yarn and would love to join the Book Club Cardi KAL 🧶😍🎉

I immediately put the Book Club cardigan in my queue when Sarah announced the KAL! I've just started knitting less than a year ago and I have to say I'm currently using Tynn Peer Gynt from Sandnes Garn and loving the knitting experience. I've also read that it holds up quite well, so I'm looking forward to that.

Love hearing about different fibers from different places! Just as my favorite project is always my last cast off, my favorite yarn currently is one I used recently for a Tolsta Tee - Pure Silk! It’s a really interesting fiber - not really ‘silky’ but rather light yet strong and the tee has wonderful drape. Would love to try possum yarn too! Love your podcast - your enthusiasm inspires me every episode 💕

I love so many yarn for so many reason… this is hard. I just fall in love with Queensland collection Kathmandu recently. Aran or dk doesn’t matter. It’s lofty and so so soft. I would love to squish a possom yarn! A trend in Canada is yak at the moment so I’m not scandalized by possum. You are so amazing to watch keep supporting each other it is so beautiful to see.

So interesting to hear what you said about the possum yarn, so good to be able to learn more about where our different yarns come from. Love the energy you both have. I love adding mohair to my items and even though I haven't been knitting for that long I love Isager's Mohair, it feels very luxurious.

That was cool to hear about the possum yarn! Never knew that was a thing! I am excited to knit the book club cardigan with sandnes recycled tweed :) My favorite yarn is holst garn cielo- it’s so unique and delightful to knit with! It’s a blown wool/alpaca blend, and I love the muted fuzziness and squish factor

My favourite yarn would be from the Wensleydale long wool sheep breed here in Yorkshire England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. They are the cutest sheep with really long beautiful curls. Their yarn is like knitting with silk it has the most glorious sheen to it. Keep up the podcast girls you two are so so watchable. Also I think I am very tempted to make my first cabled cardigan. ❤

Sarah, your Dartmoor is so pretty!! What a great bit of education on the possum. Thanks for that! My favorite yarn to knit with is merino ❤

My favorite fiber is definitely a suri alpaca as a replacement for mohair I love the softness and halo you get from the yarn! Current favorite yarn is the Qing Fibre Melted Baby Suri it’s soooo soft and gorgeous.

So interesting to hear about possum yarn - I’ve never heard of it before. My favourite yarn to knit with at the moment is my own hand-spun merino yarn.

I love this podcast. It feels to me like listening to my friends who are as excited about yarn and knitting as I am. Your sweater in the Sandnes garn Poppy yarn is amazing. I was really excited for the book club cardigan pattern to come out too. I was swatching for it before it's released using some yarn I got in the Catskills region of New York. I'm in love with this yarn. It is called American Ewe worsted tweed. I bought it in the color way called earth tones. It's so soft and beautiful and lovely to knit with.

Congrats on finishing your last ever exam Paige! My favourite yarn to knit with is the wonderful humble lambswool. After experimenting and not always having said experimentation work out as planned, I know I can come back to some rustic-ish 100% lambswool and be warmly welcomed back :) I recently discovered local Perendale wool and it reminds me of Peer Gynt but lighter (and cheaper) 💜

I so enjoy seeing your WIPs, and how you each have such different styles or approaches to your knitting projects. So excited for the KAL! I'm still learning about knitting fibres, but so far, I prefer a more rustic yarn that gets loftier after blocking. Some Briggs & Little Regal (Canada) is a go-to for outerwear cardis for me.

So excited for the KAL! I've been looking for the perfect cabled cardigan pattern for a while and Sari Nordlund has definitely delivered. I'm really loving suri alpaca at the moment! Such a cosy fluffy fibre that melts into any yarn I'm holding it with ❤

The Zelana possum yarn is very hard wearing I knit socks/beannie on a road trip through NZ 10 years ago and I've still got them. So cozy !!

At the moment I love knitting with merino wool the most! But for the summer I'm experimenting with all sorts of yarn types and I love it!

I’ve only recently gotten back into knitting again after 10+ years, and it has just been TAKING ME OVER 🥲 I’ve even been dreaming about it… regularly!! My absolute favourite yarn right now is the Dory Sock yarn by Green Gable Alpacas farm - it’s “70% Extra Fine Merino, 20% Royal Alpaca and 10% Mulberry Silk” - it’s unbelievably soft and the most luxurious yarn I’ve worked with for sure. The supplier is a quaint little alpaca farm on Prince Edward Island in Canada, and they hold hand-dyeing workshops with their yarn, so I actually hand-painted this skein myself! It holds such a beautiful memory because I attended the workshop with my friend when we travelled there together, so it’s extra meaningful to knit with. It was so cool to meet the owner (who taught the workshop), as well as tour her farm and meet the alpacas themselves 😊

I LOVE Zealana possum down yarns. I’ve used the Rimu DK for my sweater #9 by my favorite things knitwear. It’s so lovely and soft.

The Bookclub cardigan is definitely on my knitting list. Maybe I need to get some pelt wool from Hillesvåg, it’s such a versatile yarn.

My favorite yarn I’ve used is a combo - Holst Garn Supersoft + Titicaca. Supersoft is a great workhorse yarn and Titicaca is a lace weight alpaca just like the ones you talked about this episode. Really soft and fluffy but not too much.

I'm really enjoying exploring more New Zealand yarn! I'm a Kiwi living in the South Island, but started off using European yarns because that's what I was familiar with from KZread and Instagram, but more recently I've really been enjoying Wild Earth Yarn's Aspen range, and Little Acorn Yarn's silky sock. It would be such a joy to have a sweater quantity of yarn for the Book Club cardigan! I'm an avid book reader too, and I'm a member of a book club so I could definitely see myself wearing it a lot 📖🧶

My favorite yarn is any nonsuperwash wool that’s a bit rustic, although Woolly Mammoth Fibre Co’s special edition yarns are my current favorite way to treat myself!

I mainly knit with Bendigo Woollen Mills yarn as it is local, however, I have also used possum yarn a few times. I have purchased the yarn when I travel to 'The Wool Stash' (local yarn store in Malden) and have bought some there for beanies etc. It makes a lovely fabric, very drapey like alpaca.

My favorite fiber to knit with is Yak. When I can afford the splurge, I like to purchase Illimani Santi yarn which is ultra fine merino, baby alpaca, yak, and mulberry silk. The yarn is incredibly luxurious and smooth 🩵✨

I love anything super soft and drapey. Alpaca and silk with some cashmere is luxurious! I also love using just a nice merino wool. I love your podcast! I’m excited about the knitalong and the giveaway! Honestly, that bag is spectacular too! Love the color! Thank you for posting such fun episodes.😊

My favourite yarn is also possum mix it is so warm and soft, Possums are the biggest pest here in nz and do so much damage to our environment so it’s awesome that they have some use for their fur

So fun on the Kal…. I always love trying yarns…. Recently I have really liked cotton wool blends ( happy place) and I also was able to finally try knitting for olive silk and am loving that… I have a local thrift shop that I love when I find yarns from all over… a recent fun find was Rauma- from Norway .. so I got it to try… oh and I got some ochre from Australia this year too… in the lilac as it’s a favorite color of mine… thanks Paige!

Love your energy… ❤ what a nice giveaway prize. My newest discovered yarn is Linen Quill by Purl Soho… made the Salty Air Tee and it won’t be the last… Happy knitting 🧶

Wonderful podcast Sarah and Paige! Love your new haircut Paige, it looks fabulous on you. Two fibres I haven’t tried yet are Possum and Yak and would LOVE to 😊 I did just purchase and swatched yarn from Sonder Yarn Co., it is a gorgeous and soft blend of 65% BFL, 25% Masham, and 10% Cashmere. Using the Masham and Cashmere will be knew to me. I can’t wait to see your Book Club Cardigan Sarah, it’s in my queue along with almost everything Sari designs lol. Have a great day and thanks for a chance 💓

Love your ideas and joy of knitting. I love knitting alpaca from local farms in the natural colors of the animals, meeting the animal, and knowing the animal's name. Favorite is a chocolate brown alpaca in North Carolina named Carlton. He is so fluffy.

Great podcast! Love all the projects! My favorite yarn is Audine Wools twinkle. It’s 80% wool, 10% cashmere and 10% stelina. Thank you!

Wow that was great information about the possum yarn. Recently felt it made up into a scarf in a store and was deluxe with the right amount of fluff. Hands down is my dream yarn to use one day. Love you gals, how supportive and excited you both are about each other’s projects.

Thank you for the interesting possum fiber information! I live in Minnesota in the states and there have been many invasive species, such as carp, that have devastated the lakes and have to be culled. It is nice when they can find a use for them-like dog food. I like to use merino since I have sensitive skin but I also enjoy using blow yarns. They do make such light, warm sweaters and vests!

My favourite yarn to use recently has been Rowan Kidsilk Haze (70% mohair, 30% silk) because I used it to make my own Stockholm V-neck slipover recently (as inspired by Paige)! I even chose the colourway Bark because I loved your colour choice and it was my first mohair project!

I’ve only gotten into natural fibers in the last couple years, and so far a 100% merino has been my favorite! I have a special skein of hand dyed sock yarn that I’m going to be getting into shortly and I’m so excited. I also need to cast on my book club cardigan, I have some yarn in stash that I think will work. I’m just trying to decide if I should be responsible and finish the cable cardigan I already have on the needles. 👀 I’m very intrigued by the possum yarn from New Zealand! Sarah, your book club cardigan is going to be beautiful, and Paige, your ribbon vest looks perfect! 🎀 Thank you both for the inspiration!

I have only been knitting for 9 months, so I don't have a favourite yarn as I am still discovering new yarns. But I ofcourse love wool and I also quite enjoy 100% cotton, I know it might be a controversial take but I enjoyed the process and the finished fabric.

My favourite is Ulysse, a Woollen spun eco sport weight merino yarn by de Rerum Natura, it's light as air and has the most amazing feel, great stitch definition too.I made an all over cable cardigan with it four years ago, ( Monstera by Joji Locatelli)it gets worn a lot and it still looks as good as the day I cast it off!

Thank you so much for the possum information/education. I had wondered about the ethical side of things. I also didn’t realize it was different from the opossum here in the US. Paige, I am so so happy for you! I know how big of a deal this is. Enjoy your freedom! My favorite yarn combo is merino and alpaca, but right now I’m knitting with kelbourne woolens scout and am really loving it. I want to try a yak blend soon (and now possum).

My favourite yarn is noro kureyon! The colours are so beautiful and it’s so fun seeing how the self striping comes out as I knit :)

Thank you for thoughtfully discussing our possum problem, just doing the Musselburgh in Purrino another possum blend which also has a gorgeous little halo and great colours 20 % possum 80% merino, ultra soft from Countrywide yarns..

One of my favorite yarns is Sandes Garn Line for summer garments. Thanks for explaining the issues regarding possum fibers.

I thrifted a skein of 100% yak down yarn that feels so nice! It seriously feels like velvet. I’d love to knit a sweater with Yak someday as I hear it’s much less draining on the environment and very temperature regulating. As an American I was very confused when you said Possum yarn but I’m intrigued by it. I’d love to win some! Great episode. Also Paige’s bow vest is incredible!

OMG! How cute is this?❤ In time my favorite yarn is Cashmere, Silk and Yak, because I have a very sensitive skin. I have an allergy to mohair and alpaca. I have never knitted with possum. Your projects are stunning. Love your podcast❤

Thank You for sharing all your beautiful makes! I am currently enjoying the merino alpaca yarns. Usually fingering weight. I love the bit of halo it provides!❤

I've been following you two almost from the start and I always get excited when I see a notification from your channel, keep it up! Two of my favorite yarns are Holst Supersoft for its wide range of colors and it's really good for colorwork, and another would be Sandnes Garn Sunday for its versatility and softness.

Loved this video! I’ve been knitting for 8 months now so still very new to trying different yarns. Most recently I knitted with a single ply chunky wool/acrylic blend yarn and I loved how fluffy and soft it is so makes knitting very fun. But I’m also using a sock yarn held double for a ranunculus and working with merino wool is very lush.

Thanks for another great podcast! I love woolly wools, and love to collect yarn on my travels. I’ve been to Shetland so I have lots of fingering wt Shetland for colorwork. Iceland for Lopi, Ireland for some of their tweedy yarns. I’ve also been to NZ and got the most scrumptious merino/ possum yarn ever. I've made two sweaters with it so far and I love them!

I am a relatively new knitter so every (natural) yarn is such an exciting discovery! I'm particularly obsessed with mohair these days, holding yarn together feels so much like watercolouring. I have just the assortment of brownish mohairs to pair with this possum base!

I enjoy your podcast so much! My favorite yarn is Knitting for Olive Merino. Their color palette is amazing!

I would love to try the possum, what a great giveaway and KAL! I personally ADORE alpaca of any brand - love the drape, the floofiness, the natural colours.... fingers crossed for the fab giveaway! Love your podcast, watching from SE England x

Great episode girls! I’ve just had a holiday in New Zealand and have discovered possum merino yarn. I bought the ‘Brushtale Upcycled Possum Merino’ to make a cowl. Just SO luxurious around my neck! 😊

I can't wait to see all the book club cardigans 🎉. Like all introduced species possums need to be controlled the problem is they are so much cuter than cane toads 😂. I purchased some yarn with possum in it as a souvenir when I was in NZ and I'm a convert. It's heavenly

My favorite yarn is swanky sock/dk by Magpie Fibers. So soft, so many beautiful colorways!

More recently my favorite yarn is Good Wool by Purl Soho. It’s super versatile, I’ve been able to use it as sport or DK, the fabric is soft enough I can wear it against bare skin, but it’s wooly and blooms well. There’s also a ton of colors which is nice.

Thanks for another fun podcast! I love many yarns but one of my favourites is unspun Nutiden from Sweden. I always hold it single strand with Mohair to make knitting easier and the Mohair helps a ton with pilling.

Thanks for the fun episode, as always!! You two are such hype girls and i love ittt 💖 As a relatively new knitter i haven't gotten around to trying out that many different yarns, but my favorite so far has been this 40% merino, 30% silk and 30% yak blend that i got from a local indie dyer. It feels soooo luxe and created the most beautiful drape~

Hello Ladies, favourite yarn so far that I've used has been Merino Silk Yak from Louie and Lola, but I'm only a new knitter and there are so many yarns to try! Enjoy your content and Aussie perspective

This is my first time tuning into your podcast and it is so charming! My favourite yarn that I've knit with so far is Malabrigo Rios.

So tough to pick a favourite yarn! I’m loving alpaca, and feel super lucky to have a local mill near me in Canada that processes it! I was also given some baby camel by a knitting group friend and have been loving exploring with it!

Great giveaway and a perfect KAL! I’m a recent non-super wash convert, gravitating now more towards non merino like corriedale and nsw blends.

I knitted one garment recently with Zealana Kauri and Heron worsted and I love them so much. Since then I’ve been looking into merino possum yarns more, every time I touch samples made from this type of yarn it is so soft and it has that nice halo from possum fur. I really want to try out a hand dyed merino possum yarn one day as well, as it has that earthy undertone from the possum that is so good!

That possum yarn looks amazing! I have heard others talk about it but don't have easy access to it in the US. I love Sonder Sunday Morning yarns but am also obsessed with anything fluffy. The more suri and mohair the better!

Love the podcast as always. Love reading the comments too and seeing what yarns people favour. I like non superwash wooly yarns for jumpers etc that wear well and don’t pill. I generally use the merino or other soft fibres for shawls and hats. My workhorse go tos are KnitPicks Palette (especially for colourwork) and Holst Supersoft. Also love Rowan Felted Tweed just for the gorgeous flecks colours and it’s soft but wears well imo. Also partial to all yarns Isager cos of the way they combine. And Sarah, my row gauge is always off!, usually I get less rows than stipulated! 😟 As you say, it often doesn’t matter but I do get a bit sick of adjusting for it. It’s a total mystery to me.

I really love almost all yarns, but I suppose wool is my all-time fave. Love alpaca and cashmere, of course. Would looooooove to try the possum blend, as I am thoroughly intrigued! Currently using cotton blends for a bunch of summer projects. ❤

My favourite yarn at the moment is Maven blend by oyster yarns from thepurlbox, and I’m knitting the musselburgh beanie. I’ve loved following your yarny adventures.

I love watching you girls- you just make me laugh!! My favourite yarn would be anything produced by Bendigo as it’s Australian manufactured yarn! I’ve just knit the louvre sweater with the woodlands heartwood colour and it’s amazing. I’m very much appreciate the time you took to research the zealana yarn!!

Wow, that's an amazing giveaway!! I'm one of those weirdos that enjoys wearing cotton knits, so I often use cotton yarns, but I actually like knitting with alpaca blends. I would love to try more fibers as I am relatively new!
